The patent office needs to start clearing out its staff because information has leaked through once more, this time suggesting that Sony has filed for a touchscreen PSP. Nothing is official of course but the “digital tactile pixels” described with Sony Computer Entertainment's ex-president Phil Harrison as the inventor and that rather narrows down what device it could be for. The likelihood is that this equates to something comparable to the much enjoyed haptics which offer vibration feedback to let you know when you've hit the spot. The details of the files also suggest the pixels use in a phone, portable media player, e-mail device, web browser device and navigation system. Technology - Computer Business Online Add to My Yahoo!

Look, we’ve heard our fair share of PSP phone rumors , and there’s really no reason to trust this one any further than your average baseless musings, but if Marketing Week’s “sources in Japan and Korea” can be trusted, Sony’s PSP phone could be hitting shelves as soon as Christmas 2009. What does seem clear to these shady sources is that Sony won’t be forking over the PlayStation branding to its Sony Ericsson partnership, and instead will build its PSP phone all by its lonesome. Any PSP phone would have to be at least 2/3 the size of a PSP and a good deal lighter. My opinion on the PSP phone is that they shouldn’t try to make it a real phone. read more
